2019-01-21Austin brought us his STI a while ago with some issues his engine had from a few different shops trying to work on it. Pulling it apart we found a lot of issues that needed corrected. Austin decided to have us fully build his engine and go with a new more usable turbo setup instead of the outdated laggy rotated setup that was on it. We did port work on the heads, cams, valve springs and retainers, fully built Benson short block with forged internals. For the turbo setup Austin wanted quicker spool with more power potential. We went with a Garrett Gen2 GTX3576R, Injector Dynamics injectors, Radium fuel rails, custom BK fuel line setup and much more. He wanted it to sound like a Subaru so we went with the Tomei UEL header and the classic HKS Racing catback. Tuned by Ian it made 470whp.
While we had it Austin wanted to update the suspension so we installed HKS Hipermax SP coilovers, Whiteline swaybars, rear sway bar brackets, and anti-liff kit, and Kartboy endlinks.
The outside needed a little love too. The last owner made a mess of cutting out all grilles so to clean it up we installed the Grille Craft upper and lower grilles and polished his yellowing head light housings.
We upgraded his COBB Accessport to the v3 for better monitoring and mounted it properly for him to keep an eye on vitals. Austin didn't want a laggy "narrow power band" unpredictable car. He wanted something with a broad power band, predictability and great handling. Needless to say he got it! This setup is a blast to drive and it is a great all around car that is well balanced! We are definitely sad to see this nice car go home to NY. Thanks Austin for your support...hope you have a blast with it in NY! #HKS#HKSprodealer#HKShipermax#HKScoilovers#Bensonracingengines#Bensonmachine#ARP#CPpistons#Manleyrods#Kelfordcams#KillerB#radiumengineering#Tomei#COBB#cobbtuning#Whiteline#Kartboy#Swepco#Grimmspeed#Accessport#Supertech#Subaru#wrxsti#STi#Subarusti#Hawkeye#Hawkeyesti#idsubaruclub#sandpointsubieshttps://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/vp/5080f5435a3805a27856d46e473260b6/5CFA5E37/t51.2885-15/e35/c114.0.852.852/s320x320/49933543_774142702951345_3542589603908914873_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com2019-01-21
